“Alright, we'll get going then.” Her tone was calm, her poise unshaken.
“Thanks for tonight. Good night.”
“Good night.”

when the pieces didn’t fit together. If she couldn't pull the truth from them, she should at least be suspicious.
After all, his performance had left no cracks. So what was she waiting for?
